                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of MURSKA!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  Former top team BUSY, BUSYTOWN was 
unseated this week as CHILDREN OF LLYR moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot 
with a 3-2-0 record for the round.  FARON caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial 
commission as he skillfully bested DANGEROUS CRIMINAL and was awarded 9 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, KUNG-FU MASTER put down KAI, 
causing him to lose 7 points of recognition in the process.  Due to his absence and 
inability to defend the throne, FATHER CAT has lost the title of Duelmaster.  The 
city has turned out in honor of NOREASTER, for with his arena victory he may now lay 
claim to the highest position in the city!  Informants "close" to the city champion 
have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out! 
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In MURSKA "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!  MURSKA, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the 
names of thy guilds is THE BEARS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly 
duels.  Apparently the stalwarts of DIRT DEVILS are catching the bulk of jests down 
at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids.  Mighty fighters cannot 
but expect competition from those below.  CADAL COONTZ take warning!  You have more 
than a few enemies in MURSKA.  I can not but mention with disdain the name of 
NOREASTER who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a full 9 points below in the 
rankings.  I thought NOREASTER showed great skill and promise when he won victory 
over CADAL COONTZ.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the 
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in MURSKA.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  Sadly warriors, now longer can I 
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  Till 
next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different 
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Dingo Dog -- When you started ringing, you know, that ding-a-ling bit you do?  Well,
it completely scrambled my brains, what there was left of them after (gag) whatever
it was I drank last night. -- Kai

Father Cat -- What does that come to?  A tom-cat with a sense of responsibility? --
Cadal Coontz

Jungle King -- Somewhere there is a jungle that is lonely for you. -- Faron

Pitfall Harry -- You should have realized that the maintenance crew wasn't going to
let you dig a pit in the middle of the arena! -- Balin

Can I fight Persistent Beggars all the time? -- Belgo

All -- I've seen what's on the forum.  So I'm prey, am I, Max.  You and all your
devious buddies will become my prey, even those I thought okay.  I don't have to
explain anything I do, much like yourselves so bring it on.  Feel free to come over
to 31 for a thrashing.  Oh, by the way, I am also in a new alliance.  They tend to
share my sentiments about the VC.  If they follow me or not, we will see; I'm not at
liberty to talk for them.  The VC may be on their last stand!!!! -- Blackstorm

The 2006 Mordanti Alliance Olympics are off to a grand start!  With seventeen teams
declared, running under eight different flags (not to mention six additional non-
Olympic teams present), it is looking to be as tough as any previous Olympiad, if not
more!  Olympians petitioned the Commission to make an allowance for late entries, and
the Commission agreed, and will allow new entrants to partake, as long as they are
active by Round 3 (T546, due May 29th).  So if you wish to enter, please email your
intentions to amicitia@gwi.net with team name, manager name, and affiliation
(alliance name or independent), or show up in Mordant (DM-1) on, or before, May 29th
and place your declarations in the newsletter!
